Panasonic VS7 Review
Panasonic is not well known for its mobile phones outside Japan, but instead for its home appliance products. For years, they have been releasing mediocre handsets that never made it big in the market. The turning point was in 2002, when they released the GD88. It was the first GSM device equipped with a 132x176 pixel 65k color LCD display, a camera, 16 voice polyphonic ringtones, and all in a reasonably sized Japanese-influenced flip phone design. From then on, Panasonic seemed to have sunk a little, with the X series only popular at CeBIT, but not in the actual market. Their first Symbian flip phone, the X700, lost completely to the Nokia 6260, and the X800 was a flop due to a number of software and multimedia inadequacies. Earlier this year at 3GSM, Panasonic ambitiously announced a whooping nine new models, covering all the way from the bottom end to the top segment. Panasonic is determined to regain market share in the midst of the multimedia chase.
The phone we are looking at today, the VS7, is their flagship for this year....
